What does your daily beauty regimen entail? (What skincare products do you use currently i.e. face wash, exfoliator, serums, creams, night regimen, etc.) I am a face washing/skin freak…
LOL. I use a skincare line from Korea called A.C Care. I also use a face wash, toner, Vitamin C serum, Vitamin A and have been so many moments in my career facial moisturizer. Also, every night I use a yogurt kiwi that have humbled me and left me with that mask. It works wonders for your skin and leaves it with a feeling of excitement.

Interview with Aussie model
Jessica Green
At just 20 years old, this blue eyed sensation has made her mark amidst the Australian fashion elite and now takes on the film industry. With an impressive model folio, RAW gets the insider scoop on this model turned starlet!!!
Your modeling career started when you were fourteen years old. Since that time you have worked with some amazing designers and labels including Billabong, White sands Swimwear, 2Chillies Swimwear, Triumph and Cellini. Who are some of your favorite fashion designers and why? There are so many
Relocating to the Gold Coast from Tasmania...did you ever think in a million years you would be where you are today? NO,
I have been fortunate to have amazing opportunities given to me and an amazing mum that believes in me and manages my career.
great Australian and international labels. Some of my favorite designers are Lisa Brown, Sass and Bide and Cellini. I love their creativity and passion. How do you feel fashion in Australia differs from the rest of the world and why? I feel Aussie
fashion is in tune with the world. When I’m in Sydney or Melbourne I love looking around all the little boutiques. You can always find something truly unique. As a country, Australia has the inspiration for our designers with the colours, textures, fabrics and you can see our beaches and the Outback in the designs!! You are the brand ambassador for Oscar Oscar Hair, ProBioSkin.com, Bella Bronze Tan and Cellini. Do you feel that skincare and a healthy lifestyle are vital to a woman’s day to day routine and why? Definitely Yes!
I follow ProBioSkin.com’s five step, healthy skin care mantra that keeps my skin looking healthy and glowing. Personally I feel so good when I eat well! Being fit and active is a big part of who I am. Living on the Gold Coast its easy to get out there and stay trim. RAW met you at Rosemount Australian Fashion Week and photographed you backstage and on the runway!! We have watched you grow into a young, successful woman over the years. How do you handle the many pressures of these two very different industries: those of fashion & film? I have an amazing support team
and a great mum that helps me through everything, time management is also important.
Behind the scenes by RAW Fashion Magazine
What was your favorite runway show you’ve worked so far and why? Who was the designer? To walk at Sydney Fashion
week modeling for Australian designer White Sands Swimwear has to be on of the most amazing highlights of my career. Are there any photographers in particular you enjoy working with? I have done alot of work with Jessica McDonald
and Brie Stevenson who are with Aleece Young Photography they are an amazing talented team.

What is your most memorable fashion moment, a moment that had you squealing with joy, a pivotal moment in your modeling career? Again it has to
be landing the Triumph Australia campaign three years in a row!!!
What actor would you like to work with and why? We at RAW have loads of Hollywood crushes…who is your Hollywood hunk crush? I have a bit of a
crush on Channing Tatum, who wouldn’t want to work with him? Behind the scenes by RAW Fashion Magazine
What is your biggest fashion flop or disaster moment and how did you recover? I haven’t really had a
major fashion disaster or flop, the odd catwalk stumble is about it so far....thankfully. Tell us about your new T.V. show Lightning Point?
Lightning Point is an adventerous and exciting show aimed at early teens and is about two alien girls that steal a space ship to explore and land in a sleepy little surf town. They become stranded on earth when their space ship explodes. They befriend a local girl called Amber and their adventures begin. The story follows them as they make friends, find romance, experience new emotions and fun times living in the human world whilst trying to keep their alien identity a secret. There is lots of surfing and horse riding, which I love. You play the leading role of Kiki, an alien surf chic. Do you like this character? Yes, she is very similar to
me. An animal and nature lover, a true free spirit a great character to play I had so much fun. What is your ultimate goal as an actress or model? Where would you like to work or whom would you like to work for? My ultimate goal would be to model in a
Victoria Secret show, and with my acting I would love the opportunity to work on a feature film under the direction of the great Spielberg, Michael Bay or Randall Emmett who I admire. Where do you see yourself in five to ten years? One
that thing I have learned is to take each day as it comes, my biggest opportunity could be around the corner, you never know!

The Benefits of Yoga
Yoga provides both instant gratification and lasting transformation. Yoga can change your physical and mental capacity instantly, while preparing the mind and body for long-term health and fitness. Yoga forces you to relax, destress, detox and breath deeply. This increases blood flow to your entire body while relaxing your tense muscles. Types of Yoga There are many different styles of Yoga to choose from including bikram yoga, power yoga, naked yoga, prenatal yoga, Hatha yoga, private sessions, studio, anti-gravity yoga and surf yoga. Whatever you prefer, there is a style designed to suit your needs, goals and interests. In Bikram yoga, also called “hot yoga�, the room temperature is set to around 105 degrees Fahrenheit, resulting in greater elimination of toxins from the body through the increased production of sweat. Hatha yoga focuses on basic postures and proper breathing techniques at a slower pace for beginners. Anti-Gravity yoga focuses the mind through visualization as it floats the body through a series of gyro-kinetic motions, opening the spine, hips and connective tissues of the body utilizing a hammock to float the body in mid-air. The weightlessness provided by the hammock allows the body to safely glide to the extent of its flexibility with zero compression on the joints. Naked Hatha and Kundalini Yoga allows you to shed your inhibitions and lose yourself to the feeling of being unbound by clothing and draped in linens. Increases sexual energy and helps you connect to the raw nature of ones self by stripping you down to the bare essentials. The liquid energy of the ocean and the sound of the seagulls makes Surf Yoga one of our favorites. The power of the ocean is all around you and makes basic yoga seem much more sensual. Breathing techniques are fueled by the crashing waves, the sun gives you the energy to keep pushing yourself increasing endurance, strength and flexibility. Health Benefits Yoga helps the lymphatic system fight infections, destroy cancerous cells, and dispose of the toxic waste products of cellular functioning. Yoga also promotes breathing through the nose, which filters the air and humidifies it, removing pollen and dirt before it reaches your lungs. Yoga increases your sex drive by increasing the blood flow to the genital area which is important in arousal and strengthens your pelvic muscles especially if you are doing naked yoga. Improve flexibility with loosening, stretching, good posture and breathing. Some of those crazy poses almost start to look doable.

Leblon Cachaça Leblon Cachaça is a luxury, artisanal brand of the alcoholic beverage Cachaça (pronounced ka-SHA-sa) made at the Destillerie Maison Leblon in Patos de Minas, Minas Gerais in Brazil. Leblon is named for Leblon Beach, a hip, upscale beach neighborhood in Rio de Janeiro. Winner of “Best Cachaca” a record eight consecutive gold medals from 2006 to 2013 at San Francisco’s World Spirits Competition Cachaça is not rum. Cachaça is made from fresh sugar cane, not molasses, and can only come from Brazil. It tastes different than rum, with a fresher, fruitier flavor. Cachaça is the national spirit of Brazil. The difference is that cachaça is made from the fermentation of sugar cane juice where rum uses molasses. Leblon combines traditional approaches with creative European winemaking techniques to create a Cachaça that is extra special. Gilles Merlet, famous master distiller from the Cognac region of France, takes Cachaça to a whole new level with his ‘French touch,’ transforming the distillery to the state-of-the-art Maison Leblon. Leblon is rested in vintage XO Cognac casks for up to six months, polishing the spirit without altering the nose of the fresh cane. The result is an ultra-smooth taste. Leblon tastes great neat, mixes wonderfully with fruit juice such as pineapple juice, cranberry juice, or even lemonade or soda, and provides an interesting Brazilian twist to any cocktail. Leblon Cachaça mixes extremely well with tonic water (highly recommended with a twist of lime). The national cocktail of Brazil, the Caipirinha (pronounced ‘KIE-PUR-REEN-YAH’), is a combination of muddled lime, sugar and Cachaça served on the rocks in a rocks glass. Take a good size lime, cut it into several wedges, and place four wedges in a rocks glass. Add two teaspoons of sugar, mash the lime and sugar with a muddler for fifteen seconds, and add crushed ice up to the rim of the glass. Add two ounces of Cachaça, stir thoroughly and garnish with a lime wedge. Check our more cocktail recipes at LEBLON online....
WE ARE HANDSOME In every generation there are people, places and objects that define it. Tragedy, triumph and memories that last forever in the hearts and minds of all of us. Everything we know, love and believe is inherited from the spirits, the family….The Dynasty!!! This season we present you with a collection inspired by the images and places that live in our hearts and minds ~ The Dynasty Collection by We Are Handsome!!!
What are the meanings behind each collection name? How do you decide what to name them Discovery, Dynasty, Aviary, etc.? What meanings do these names hold for you?
After a specific collection has been designed, and I’ve written the story for the collection, we’ll look at what ties it together and more often than not, the name comes very quickly. I imagine it’s like seeing your child for the first time and just knowing their name. What are some of your personal favorites of the current collection and why? I adore the Menagerie
Panel One Piece and the Hideaway Bikinis - those are my two favourite prints - they just resonate with me and maybe because they took the longest to get perfect during the design process. The new accessories line of shoes, sunglasses, iPhone covers and playing cards is super cute...what was the inspiration to design footwear? The
Espadrilles are a collaboration with our friend’s company Soludos. Our labels have the same type of design philosophy, values and audience and thus a collaboration was a no brainer. We love to work with brands and lifestyle products that fit with our own. We worked really hard to get our prints onto the canvas and looking fantastic - something that hadn’t been done before!!!
What does design/fashion mean to you? Your definition of this? To me design is life. Everything is designed.
I appreciate the design in everything, from the fork in your mouth to way the food is presented on the plate.
I love that everyone’s style is uniquely different and directly relates back to their life experiences, memories and dreams!
If you could design one piece for anyone in the world who would it be and why? I’d love to design a swimsuit for
Marilyn Monroe in her prime. She wore a confidence in herself seldom seen in todays pin-up girls and celebrities. She was comfortable in her own skin and therefore in whatever she wore - and that in itself makes a true beauty. Where is the most interesting place you have ever traveled? What inspires you most from this place?
Africa - hands down!! Most of the continent is living cut off from the rest of the world - in terms of technology but more in terms of their culture, traditions, habits and environments. In Africa life is about survival, not about luxury, comfort and masterchef. Spending time there really makes you appreciate what we have in our world. What are your future goals and visions for We Are Handsome? What can your consumers look forward to?
We’ve got a lot of new lifestyle products ~ beach umbrellas, scented candles, towels, sunnies and more. We are also producing more apparel pieces in upcoming collections and bringing back some old favorites so stay tuned for more exciting things to come!!!! www.wearehandsome.com

You are a very fresh, hot new Aussie label, the Mijanou Swimwear brand just recently launched in April of 2012. How has this whirlwind been for you? The amount of attention the label has received is very encouraging, exciting and so motivating. We are loving the press attention and seeing our swimsuits on the beautiful Aussie beaches!!! What was your inspiration for the new Bohemian Spirit 2014 collection? This collection captures the free spirit of the Mijanou woman...living for love and art, living without rules,without a sense of time...poolside glamour, the French Riviera, luxury and sophistcation!! What textiles did you use with this collection...we see a lot of new prints and bold colors? We used nomadic and painterly prints combined with tassels, silk, laser cutting and sheer mesh inserts to emulate the carefree beach boho lifestyle. Do tell...what are your personal favs of the label so far? I love the art nouveau inspired pieces because they are bold, detailed, unique and feminine. They have a pinch of old world glamour with a dash of the modern. Who is one celebrity you would like to design a suit for and why? Princess Kate. She is so beautiful, classic and very influential. She has come a long way with her fashion trends and always looks super elegant. What’s next for Mijanou? We are working on a new evening gown collection with plunging open backs, sequin fabrics and unique detailing...stay tuned!!!

IVANAhelsinki Paolo Suhonen is the creative genius behind the independent fashion, art & cinema brand IVANAhelsinki, delicately weaving Slavic rough melancholy and pure Scandinavian influence.
How would you define fashion within the Finnish culture and Slavic trends? Finland is very industrial, strong and commercial taking from that hard lines which are very functional in design, but also extremely creative.
We find travel defines us in everything we do.... What inspiration do you take with you from various locations?
I love travleing on cross country road trips through America, from New York to Alaska, Canada and everything in between. Patterned, textured wallpaper is everywhere if you look for it and I photograph and sketch the details using them for future print inspirations.
Working with your Indian Summer collection we can see such prints evident in your design schemes. How would you describe this collection?
This collection is inspired by childhood memories of bohemian Scandinavian architecture, our relatives weekend parties with food, wine, smoke filled corridors, laughter...creating a mood of simple elegance, bold prints, intellectual minds and passionate conversations. Indian Summer features some amazing brown feather prints, organic pieces, thick white knits and bulky rich luxe sweater pieces.
Years ago in the isolated town of Helsinki you started a Young Designers Club..tell us about that.
Helsinki was a desolate town, cold and dreary and I created this forum for emerging talent and exhibitors to showcase their designs to a small but gathering crowd. It was a huge turning point for Helsinki... View current collections, new concepts & watch amazing videos by Paola at

on 3D fashion as architecture
How would you describe your 3D digital modeling techniques? I’m interested in the principles of biomimicry, the study of “solutions� in the natural world as a possible solution to contemporary Architecture and Design. I use 3D software to reproduce the processes of nature as inspiration for my work. What are some of your personal favorite pieces of your 3D collections and why? I love the Alchemy asymmetric shoulder cover because of its unusual position on the body; the piece stands between the shoulder, the neck and the shoulder blade. RAW Fashion Magazine - 2014

What does Alchemy mean to you? Why did you name your accessories collection Alchemy? What was the inspiration behind these pieces? I think the goal of contemporary design is the convergence of nature and technology. New disciplines are emerging from the convergence of biology, chemistry, medicine design and engineering. This always reminds me of the ancient science of Alchemy. Alchemy is the process of transforming something common into something special, merging chemistry, medicine and magic. New technologies such as 3D printing have made the process of transmutation real and are becoming so sophisticated as to resemble magic.

What has been your most rewarding discovery with 3D digital modeling and how has this impacted your views on architecture? I’m obsessed with time, and how time affects reality. Growth, movement, and evolution but also senescence, decline and decay are time-based processes. The possibility to simulate these operations through software has largely influenced my work and my research. Turbulence, the necklace I designed in collaboration with the fashion designer Leyre Valiente, is about the simulation of a fractured system which decomposes to make singularities emerge. What are your future goals and visions for 3D printing and how would that impact the future of design? The advent of digital fabrication together with the widespread web access and the rise of social networks have dramatically redefined the design discipline and more generally the way human beings think and create. However, Additive Technology is only at a preliminary stage; but in ten years’ time we will probably be able to print buildings or as Enrico Dini says, “entire urban sections”. I believe that the biggest changes will derive from the use of 3D printing in medicine. In the hopefully near future we will in fact be able to bioprint human body parts such as a fully functioning heart. At RAW we love to travel and gather inspirations from everywhere we go...so we have to ask where is the most facinating culture you have experienced so far? The most interesting place is the one you still have yet to visit. I’d like to travel to Japan as I’ve never been there, but am really attracted to their culture. I feel a sort of empathy with their sensitivity. I love their strange mix of tradition and innovation of minimalism and exuberance of silence and noise….
